Dwight, Before you go down the track of what to build etc, you don't give your experience of flying. If the answer is none you have to ask is flying for me & can I get a certificate, go get a few flying lessons & get your medical, then if you decide to carry on, Get to the next "Gathering" at Mt Vernon. There you will get all your answers on the KR & watch 2 jokers in KR's at about 20 ft off the deck at about 200mph peal off in to the distance.
Then you stand there & think I wonder how long before I can join them, I better get my A into G. Good luck Thanks for the memories of "The Gathering 2008" Robin N.Z. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dwight Hapeman" <dwi...@weknowav.com> To: <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 6:42 AM Subject: KR> I Need Some Advice From Flying KR'ers Hello KR'ers, Here is my situation - Since I am 5' 7" tall, I don't believe that modification of the cockpit will be necessary for either plane. I am not really interested, nor do I see the need to make modifications to a well designed aircraft. I would definitely enjoy building with wood & composite much more than with metal and rivets. I have no doubts that I have the ability and skills to complete either aircraft. Also, I should mention that I do not yet have a pilot certificate. since this will be a recreational aircraft and I don't foresee the need to fly at night or IFR, I was planning on getting a Sport Pilot certificate. I realize that the KR2S would require a Private Pilot certificate, which costs more and takes more training time to get. Dwight Hapeman
